“Through separate efforts, MontaVista and Lineo seem to have
come to the same conclusion: education is key to pushing Linux in
the embedded market. To that end, today the two companies both
announced a variety of educational services designed to help
students preparing for a career in embedded development and
existing developers better understand and work with Linux as an
embedded platform.“
“MontaVista’s offering, “MontaVista University,” is a training
program aimed at embedded systems developers currently at work in
the industry, or Linux veterans with experience on the Linux
desktop.”
“Lineo’s educational offering, Lineo Academix, is a broader,
three-pronged program composed of “Collegiate,” “Industry,” and
“Partner” components.”
